RIP, brother...
Dave and I were virtual room mates in Afghanistan during his tenure as an AST in the FOB back in 2006. He lived right upstairs from me in those small little rooms built into the SF compound. We worked together for a while and certainly, as he was in one of the teams in my company, we shared time and space together. He was an NCO with tremendous potential. Another warrior from B Co. has left us too soon. Take care, brother... you will be missed.
